About MakeShots

Makeshots creates marketing screenshots for mobile apps. You upload the raw screens you already have, pick a reference style or bring your own, and the AI lays out the whole set with headlines that lead with benefits. Then you export versions for iPhone, iPad and Android at the pixel dimensions each store requires, including a Play Store feature graphic.

It can localize the marketing copy on every panel into 33 languages while leaving the in-app UI untouched, with exports organized in upload-ready locale folders. A built-in App Store preview shows how the listing will look to shoppers, with sizes and languages switchable before you export.

The site names indie developers, agencies and freelancers, and ASO and marketing teams as its audience, and mentions spinning up A/B versions and per-client exports. It also has a blog, a roadmap, a feedback page and an affiliate program.
